In recent years, Bangalore has solidified its reputation as the Silicon Valley of India, not just for its booming tech industry, but also for the evolving office ecosystems that support innovation. One of the most transformative trends shaping modern workplaces is the rise of smart offices—spaces powered by the Internet of Things (IoT), automation, and intelligent technologies.

Yet, despite its opportunities, many companies make costly mistakes when selecting their office space. A...

In the dynamic landscape of Bangalore’s commercial real estate, tenants are no longer satisfied with basic office spaces.

As Bengaluru’s workforce becomes increasingly hybrid, the “15-minute neighbourhood” — where groceries, childcare, gyms, and parks are accessible within a short walk or ride — is becoming a defining metric for where knowledge workers want to live and work. Data from OpenStreetMap (OSM), BBMP’s park GIS, and walkability studies indicate that Indiranagar, Koramangala, Jayanagar, Malleshwaram, and...

Bengaluru’s 2024 water shock exposed the vulnerability of its major work districts — Outer Ring Road (ORR), Whitefield/ITPL and North Bengaluru (Hebbal–Devanahalli) — to a mix of failing supply coverage, plummeting groundwater yields, and a fragile, tanker-dependent stopgap economy. The crisis demonstrated that office continuity, employee welfare and commercial real-estate valuation now hinge on...
